Background: Chronic primary insomnia is a prevalent sleep disorder that is associated with adverse effects on health out- comes. Exercise is often considered a non-pharmacological approach that could have beneficial effects on sleep. Objective: The aim of the study was to compare the impact of aerobic and resistance exercise training on quality of sleep and inflammatory markers among subjects with chronic primary insomnia. Material and Methods: Sixty previously sedentary subjects with chronic primary insomnia subjects enrolled in this study, their age ranged from 31-52 years. All participants were randomly assigned to aerobic exercise intervention group (group A, n=35) or resistance exercise intervention group (group B, n=35). Polysomnographic recordings for sleep quality assessment, IL-6, IL-10 and TNF-α were measured before and at the end of the study after six months. Results: There was a significant increase in the total sleep duration, sleep efficiency, sleep onset latency and IL-10 in group(A) and group (B) in addition to significant reduction in awake time after sleep onset, REM latency, IL-6 and TNF-α after 6 months of aerbic and resistance exercise training. However, there were significant differences between both groups at the end of the study. Conclusion: Aerobic exercise training is more appropriately than resistance exercise training in modulation of inflammatory and sleep quality among subjects with chronic primary insomnia. Keywords: Aerobic exercise; chronic primary insomnia; inflammatory cytokines; resistance exercise; sleep quality.

Background: Chronic primary insomnia is characterized by long-term difficulties in maintaining and initiating sleep, too early waking up, poor mood, fatigue, impaired concentration and poor quality of life. Exercise training is recommended to prevent and alleviate sleep disorders. Objective: The aim of the study was to investigate the influence of aerobic exercise training on quality of sleep, psycho- logical wellbeing and immune system among subjects with chronic primary insomnia. Material and methods: Eighty previously sedentary subjects with chronic primary insomnia subjects enrolled in this study, their age ranged from 35-56 years. All participants were randomly assigned to supervised aerobic exercise intervention group (group A, n=40) or control group (group B, n=40). Polysomnographic recordings for sleep quality assessment, Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), Profile of Mood States(POMS), Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (RSES), number of CD3+,CD4+,CD8+ T cells count and CD4/CD8 ratio were measured before and at the end of the study after six months. Results: There was a significant increase in the total sleep duration, sleep efficiency and sleep onset latency in group(A) after six months of aerobic exercise training, while, wake time after sleep onset and rapid eye movement (REM) latency significantly reduced after six months of aerobic training compared with values obtained prior to aerobic exercise training. Also, the mean values of BDI, POMS, CD3 count, CD4 count and CD8 count decreased significantly and the mean value of RSES significantly increased in group (A) after the aerobic exercise training, while the results of the control group were not significant. Moreover, there were significant differences between both groups at the end of the study. Conclusion: Exercise training can be considered as a non-pharmacological modalty for modifying sleep quality, psycholog- ical wellbeing and immune system among subjects with chronic primary insomnia. Keywords: Aerobic exercise; chronic primary insomnia; immune function; sleep quality; psychological wellbeing.

Resistance Exercises

Combined exercise training (CT) including aerobic plus resistance exercises could be more effective in comparison with aerobic exercise (AT) alone in reducing blood pressure variability (BPV) in hypertensive patients. We report that CT was indeed more effective than AT in reducing short-term BPV, and both exercise modalities reduced BP levels to the same extent. CT appears to be a more appropriate exercise modality if the objective is to reduce BPV in addition to BP levels.

This study examined the effect of exercise training on sleep duration and quality and bidirectional day-to-day relationships between physical activity (PA) and sleep. Fourteen inactive men with obesity (49.2±7.9 years, BMI 34.9±2.8 kg/m²) completed a baseline visit, eight-week aerobic exercise intervention, and one-month post-intervention follow-up. PA and sleep were assessed continuously throughout the study duration using wrist-worn accelerometry. Generalised estimating equations (GEE) were used to examine associations between PA and sleep. Sleep duration increased from 5.2h at baseline to 6.6h during the intervention period and 6.5h at one-month post-intervention follow-up (p<0.001). Bi-directional associations showed that higher overall activity volume and moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) were associated with earlier sleep onset time (p<0.05). Later timing of sleep onset was associated with lower overall volume of activity, most active continuous 30 minutes (M30CONT), and MVPA (p<0.05). Higher overall activity volume, M30CONT, and MVPA predicted more wake after sleep onset (WASO) (p<0.001), whereas greater WASO was associated with higher overall volume of activity, M30CONT, and MVPA (p<0.001). An aerobic exercise intervention increased usual sleep duration. Day-to-day, more PA predicted earlier sleep onset, but worse sleep quality and vice versa. Novelty: • Greater levels of physical activity in the day were associated with an earlier sleep onset time that night, whereas a later timing of sleep onset was associated with lower physical activity the next day in men with obesity • Higher physical activity levels were associated with worse sleep quality, and vice versa

Introduction: Oxidative stress plays important roles in pathophysiology of atherosclerotic disease. However, little is known about the effects of aerobic exercise and resistance exercise on the oxidant offense and antioxidant defense systems in cardiovascular disease (CVD). Hypothesis: We hypothesized that combined aerobic and resistance exercise training decrease oxidative stress in patient with CVD. Methods: Thirty-two patients with CVD refer to in-hospital cardiac rehabilitation were divided to aerobic exercise (AE) group (n=15) and combined aerobic and resistance exercise (AE+RE) group (n=17). AE sessions consisted of 50 minutes of exercise (anaerobic threshold level), 5 days/week during training period (mean 27 days). Resistance exercise (30% of 1-repetition maximum) was performed 3 days/week before AE sessions. Serum reactive oxygen metabolites (d-ROMs) and biological antioxidant potential (BAP) were measured using the FRAS4 (Diacron International, Italy) before and after training period. BAP/d-ROMs ratio was used as an indicator of oxidative stress. Results: No significant differences in baseline values of age, body mass index, exercise tolerance and BAP/d-ROMs ratio were observed between the AE+RE group and the AE group. After training period, exercise tolerance (the AE group: 5.1 ± 1.0 to 5.6 ± 1.0 METs, p<0.01, the AE+RE group: 5.1 ± 1.1 to 5.7 ± 1.0 METs, p<0.01) were significantly increased in both groups. In the AE+RE group, d-ROMs decreased and BAP significantly increased (2173 ± 268 to 2338 ± 182, p<0.05). Consequently BAP/d-ROMs ratio significantly increased (7.3 ± 1.5 to 8.9 ± 3.1, p<0.05) after training period. In the AE group, d-ROMs significantly decreased (374 ± 61 to 347 ± 61, p<0.05), and BAP trends to decreased (2389 ± 201 to 2279 ± 189, p<0.1). Consequently BAP/d-ROMs ratio did not significantly change after training period. BAP/d-ROMs ratio in the AE+RE group were significantly higher than those in the AE group (8.9 ± 3.1 vs 6.8 ± 1.3, p<0.05) after training period. Conclusions: The present findings suggest that combined aerobic and resistance exercise training decrease oxidative stress by augmenting antioxidant potential in patients with CVD.

Resistance Exercise Training

We evaluated the hypothesis that resistance exercise training performed alone or in combination with aerobic exercise training would increase resting metabolic rate (RMR) relative to aerobic-only and nonexercising control groups. Postpubertal adolescents (N = 304) aged 14–18 years with obesity (body mass index (BMI) ≥ 95th percentile) or overweight (BMI ≥ 85th percentile + additional diabetes risk factor(s)) were randomized to 4 groups for 22 weeks: Aerobic exercise training, Resistance exercise training, Combined aerobic and resistance exercise training, or Control. All participants received dietary counselling targeting a daily energy deficit of 250 kcal. RMR was measured by indirect calorimetry and body composition by magnetic resonance imaging. There was no significant change in RMR in any group, in spite of significant within-group increases in fat-free mass in the Aerobic, Resistance, and Combined exercise training groups. RMR at baseline and 6 months were Aerobic: 1972 ± 38 and 1990 ± 41; Resistance: 2024 ± 37 and 1992 ± 41; Combined: 2023 ± 38 and 1995 ± 38; Control: 2075 ± 38 and 2073 ± 39 kcal/day (p > 0.05). There were no between-group differences in RMR after adjustment for total body weight or fat-free mass between groups over time. Per-protocol analyses including only participants with ≥70% adherence, and analyses stratified by sex, also showed no within- or between-group differences in RMR. In conclusion, despite an increase in fat-free mass in all exercise groups, 6 months of aerobic, resistance, or combined training with modest dietary restriction did not increase RMR compared with diet only in adolescents with obesity.
